I think if he returns to the smaller flash box and stays with solar mirror, it will again be 80% efficiency or higher. Also pulsing a turbine, instead of steady stream, is not going to be a problem for what he intends. You don't need 100,000 rpm, or even 22,000, to generate 1000 watts. At $3.50 a Watt (Solar Panels) that is roughly $3,500. If you can make this cheaper by keeping it simple you'll be better off than panels. Any needed valves can be found at a Boiler supply web site. You need nothing in the (small) chamber, no rocks or pipe. The air inside the chamber will be over 600 degrees. The water will not skate anywhere, the air alone will flash steam it. Cheers
